[QUOTE="GameOfThrows, post: 1219103, member: 566478"] At the risk of sounding like a total lunatic, there are only a handful of college coaches that I would even consider taking over Lovie Smith. Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh, Dantonio, Patterson, Shaw, Fisher, Miles, Stoops, Mora, Swinney, Peterson, Kelly, and Herman. That's about it imho. You could certainly make a case for Bielesma, Mullin, Richt, Sumlin, Gundy, Babers, Fedora, Strong, Narduzzi, Helfricht, Cutcliffe, Fuente and Brohm and maybe a few others, but I look at this list and think, Lovie Smith is as good or better than any of those coaches. Though successful, I wouldn't want Petrino or Freeze. Coaching in the NFL is so much more competitive and difficult than in college especially if you do not have a franchise QB which Lovie never had.
